Let us assume a stock to be at one price, but it drastically goes up or down over a short period. Such activities reflecting volatility are calculated as the standard deviation from the expectation. If a position goes through remarkable changes in value, we call this position highly volatile. However, low volatility means the position is stable.

These levels increase on two accounts. Suppose the average stock market investors are anxious and uncertain about returns in the stock market. In such a case, the volatility increases. Even if the investors are excited and optimistic about the stock market\u2019s prospects, the increase in trades and volumes escalates the volatility.

The scale of ADX ranges from zero to a hundred, where zero indicates no unexpected or unsystematic changes in the stock price; however, any value greater than 30-40 suggests a strong trend is about to prevail.

ATR considers the levels of gap openings while measuring the stock volatility by adjusting it to the daily price movement range. It can also give you a sense of how strong price moves are, which is helpful if you are trying to identify the start of a trend.
